reading the whole article made me sick. If trump pardons him there is no hope for our country being the so called leaders of the world. We have sunk to the bottom.

Can you think of an easier way to further degrade the standing of the United States in the world community than to pardon a monster like Chief Gallagher?

what do you mean by the word "ordered?" possibly "suggested?" "hinted?"

I wonder if the military will rejoice in Trump's pardon, or be pissed about it? I believe a military lawyer already came out condemning this, but lawyers don't count.

He doesn't lose support from his base because the murdered girl was brown and foreign.

He wants the military to like him. He wants to look like a tough guy because he is a coward.

Still remember this guy in an old chat room who was positively giddy about how his son (special ops in Afghanistan) was having a wonderful time shooting unarmed civilians out the back of a helicopter.
Giddy!
Son came back a few years later with severe PTSD.
Dad was still proud of what his son had done for the good, old US of A.
